I have a Samsung LN-S4095D (40 ", 1080p) for the family room and I bought the LN-T3242H for my bedroom. It is also much poorer quality than the Samsung which they see not only the lower resolution – I never 480i content anyway. The analog tuner is less good – PQ is better when I watch the DVR of the room near the entrance to composite video. The main thing I see is that black and white are nice, but it is not much reimbursement of expenses of gray.
I saw several 32 "units (Vizio, LG, Toshiba) and the Samsung is much better. Toshiba profile is very thick and has no flexibility, side entrance. Vizio wall is ugly.

Samsung LNT3242H 32-Inch LCD HDTV Specifications
For anyone looking for a great value on a 720p HDTV, Samsung’s 2007 model LNT3242H 32-inch flat-panel LCD is an excellent choice. As Samsung’s entry level 40-inch LCD, it offers a 7000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 170-degree viewing angle, an 8ms response time panel, 3 HDMI inputs, and SRS TruSurroundXT from two side speakers. Between the design update, the aditional connections, and improved contrast ratio this model represents a distinct improvement on the popular comperable 32-inch Samsung from 2006 (LNS3241D).
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
- Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

I’m not sure if I should hate the TV or Time Warner Cable in NYC – D. Lamblin – New York, NY United States
I had the TV for three years. Normally, I love the HDTV, the build quality is good. It shows a picture very fitting for HD channels and a version in order emission standards. Personally I can not do all the HD on the air through my position in the streets of Manhattan, so I have not tested this part of the feature set. It is interesting that it is running Linux, you can get the source code [...] but you will probably not be able to effectively build and deploy it to the TV, because it is not clearProcess documentation.
There is a problem with what I consider to be serious enough to make commendable UN, while not serious enough to give me money for another TV. Mainly because I do not see much TV. Even if you use a cable box, you'll probably never do. I downloaded the latest firmware update via USB, but I'm still the same problems I have had since the first week. More precisely, the problem is that the TV needs to be readjustedapproximately two weeks, but I rather stay at home about once a month. Why should it to the point, because after all the tuning it will remember a few lines a few weeks, will be issued. Yes, he just forgets. For example, it is Channel 2-1 (CBS) and 5-1 (FOX), which can sometimes be removed so that you jump to them again in the not so easy to use the channel feature list, or sometimes they disappear from the channel list in its entirety, so that you can restore not only and you should RETUNEset. Sometimes they remain on the list of channels, but to be always black, as if no signal disappeared. This seems a bit painful to remember, but if you know that you Auto-Tune, and it does take 40 minutes, all channels can be renewed on the shopping channels and the sermon, which you have deleted in May, delete all your favorites, and, finally, could a channel that is working before you had ever miss to hear, you realize it's actually a lot of pain. AlsoIt is a process of 40 minutes, but you can not show planned.
Apart from this problem, I think it is also sometimes forget my favorite, or prefer one days on a channel I have to move any favorites. It is strange, but I'll live. Even the information box is always off in the future than an hour, although the time is set correctly. If I let the summer time it is about two hours in the future. I do not know what I can see now see, I do not knowThis show will be on Next. There is no evidence for this (other than the supplied cable channel, are these things).
To be fair, I was told that this happens is due to Time Warner Cable. However, TWC dispute to do so. So I have no doubt this ability to remotely control the TV, there is agreement. It would be foolish to them with clients such as the fair, but it would "solve problems" customers "in the lease a cable box. But again, others are not TVbehave in this manner with the same service. So, I am inclined to believe that the drive firmware is not TV that reliable. Obviously, it is from Samsung, outsourced consultants-small California loves Linux firmware solutions for large companies sell the seat. But apparently there is nothing in it for either Samsung or the board to resolve such problems, because it is better to pause the TV and a ship with the latest firmware and new features.
